Copyto the People’s Commissariat for Foreign Affairs” to Comrade Eiduk

Ihave information about heavy illegal immigration at
the present time (of Russians and Americans) throughvarious border points, especially through the Black Sea
ports.

TheS.E.C. department of industrial immigration
reports that up to 200–300 persons are coming in every
month, (Among those coming in are profiteers,
counter-revolutionaries and people of that sort.)

Pleasetake the most resolute measures to stop such
immigration.

InformComrade Gorbunov about the measures you take.

V.Ulyanov(Lenin)Chairman, Council of People’s Commissars
